| Teaching aims : | Building upon knowledge acquired in Networks and Operating System Programming course lectures, students will be introduced to advanced topics in network and system administration. A detailed knowledge of ethernets, ethernet variations and ethernet-based active network components (switches, routers) is imparted. The functions and protocols of switches and routers are examined (subnetting, VLANs, STP, RSTP, multicast and multicast protocols, RIP, OSPF and other router protocols). Network design and management (SNMP) are demonstrated; management software is also dealt with. Students will provide administration for active network components in the practical section of the course using not only component command interfaces, but also based on a network management platform. The course is rounded out by considerations on organisational aspects of network operations. The system administration section is primarily concerned with Unix (Linux) servers. Special attention will be paid to Solaris (SUN server) administration. The theoretical part of the course handles all aspects of Unix system administration. Students will install, configure and test Solaris computers in the practical section of the course. | ||
